The UN human rights chief voiced “horror” Monday at a deadly Israeli air strike on a displacement camp in Rafah in the south of the war-ravaged Gaza Strip, demanding “accountability”.
Israel has faced a wave of international condemnation over Sunday’s strike on the Al Hashash area in Rafah, which according to Gaza officials killed 45 people when the strike set off a fire that ripped through a tent city for displaced Palestinians.
Israel launched the attack hours after Hamas unleashed a barrage of rockets at Tel Aviv and nearby areas which sent Israelis running for bomb shelters. Most were intercepted by air defenses.
